This is a trade organization. It lobbies Congress on behalf of medical doctors and puts out policy positions. It has no role in government and no enforcement power to actually do anything, but is still quite influential.

The AMA used to have a large majority of all physicians in the US as members, but it has dwindled over the years so instead of having >80% of doctors it now has <20%. So now, al…

Interesting that the American Bar Association has seemed to lay low through all this (I say presumptuously without researching it but they haven't made the news with this nonsense). That's probably because there are always lawyers on both sides of any issue.
